Chapter 344: Palace Change
Zhang Xuān accompanied Li Heng back to Xingqing Palace for a short time. Wan Chun Chun Bian's Shi Nu Xizhu came over and invited him to Wan Chun Yuan.
Li Heng didn't care either. Wan Chun is about to marry Zhang Xuān, she is already Zhang Xuān's woman, and this Tang Dynasty does not have the avoidance that women are not allowed to see their husbands before marriage, and it is normal for Wan Chun to see Zhang Xuān.
Zhang Xuān said goodbye to Li Heng and went to Wanchun Garden. [..]
Li Heng never dreamed that Zhang Xuān's departure would determine the fate of his life and death.
Zhang Xuān went to Wanchun Garden under the guidance of Xizhu, but he felt a little wrong while walking Zhang Xuān, this was clearly not the path to Wanchun Garden!
Zhang Xuān's heart suddenly burst into flames, and he shouted, "Xizhu, you dare to deceive this king? ”
Xizhu was shocked, and bowed to the top of the ground with a puff, and said, "The slave doesn't dare." The slave maid was ordered by the princess to invite the prince to Xianyang Palace. ”
"To Xianyang Palace? This king has just returned from Xianyang Palace, what did Wan Chun ask me to do in Xianyang Palace? ”
Zhang Xuān smiled coldly: "Tell the truth! Xizhu's little face turned red, knelt on the ground and said quietly, "The prince is angry, the slave and maid really don't know, the princess ordered it like this, and the slave and maid have to obey!" ”
Hearing the movement in front of him, Nan Jiyun, who was constantly following closely behind, rushed over with the personal escort and said loudly, "Dashuai!" What's going on? Zhang Xuān shook his head and motioned for Nan Jiyun to step back first.
"Get up and lead the way." Zhang Xuān groaned for a moment, his voice softened, and he ordered Xizhu to continue to lead the way.
Zhang Xuān walked a few steps, then stopped and turned back to summon the guard, and commanded in a low voice, "You take the gold medal of this king, go outside the palace and quickly bring the king's guards in, go around the periphery and go straight to Xianyang Palace, don't alarm the palace forbidden guards, there must be no mistake!" The protector didn't dare to slack off, took the gold medal and galloped away.
Nan Jiyun said quietly, "Dashuai......... This ......" Zhang Xuān sighed, "Nanba, this king has a very bad premonition in his heart, thinking that something is going to happen today, let's talk about it depending on the situation." Seeing that Zhang Xuān was reluctant to go deeper, Nan Jiyun didn't dare to ask, so he had to raise his 100,000 points of spirit and follow closely behind Zhang Xuān with vigilance.
Soon arrived at Xianyang Palace. Wan Chun and Princess Xianyi were already waiting outside the palace gate.
Zhang Xuān walked over slowly, looked at Wan Chun and frowned, "Wan Chun, you called me to Xianyang Palace, what is the matter?" ”
Wan Chun's face was very complicated, with a hint of gray and miserable whiteness in the redness, and the gray was mixed with a touch of excitement. The corners of her mouth twitched quietly, and she opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.
Xianyi saw that Wanchun didn't speak, so he took the initiative to laugh and said, "King Yongning, please come to the palace to talk, Sister Wanchun, don't stand stupidly, King Yongning's people are here, don't you have something to say to King Yongning!" ”
Xianyi hurriedly glanced at Wan Chun.
Wan Chun settled down, sighed quietly, and said quietly, "Zhu Lang, Wan Chun has a few words to tell you, let's come in and say." ”
Zhang Xuān nodded silently, and was about to take a step towards the Xianyang Palace.
Nan Yiyun rushed over with an arrow step, blocked in front of Zhang Jie, bowed down and said, "Handsome, no!" ”
Zhang Xuān smiled and said lightly, "Nanba, don't worry. Come in with me. ”
Zhang Xuān believed that Wan Chun would not harm him, but he didn't trust King Sheng and Princess Xianyi very much.
Although these people couldn't make any noise in this deep palace, in order to prevent accidents, he still decided to take Nan Jiyun with him.
In a side hall of Xianyang Palace. After listening to Wan Chun, Zhang Xuān's face changed suddenly. It was only at this time that he suddenly realized: why did he keep feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything wrong, it turned out that he had neglected the old emperor!
The problem lies with the old emperor.
The old emperor actually came to his senses. Although the body is still paralyzed and unable to move on the chuáng, the language function and thinking function do recover most of it. As for when he recovered, and whether he has been disguised until now, there is no need to get to the bottom of it.
The important thing is that Zhang Xuān quickly figured out what the old emperor wanted to do.
The old emperor refused to take the throne and refused to give up his imperial throne.
And now at this time, Li Heng has almost everything inside and outside the palace, if he finds that the old emperor is still awake, in order to keep his throne, Li Heng may be killed. So
The old emperor has continued to endure to this day.
Wan Chun's mouth trembled, she didn't want to involve Zhang Xuān, but her father begged her personally, seeing the miserable appearance of the old emperor, she couldn't bear to refuse.
If the old emperor wants to succeed, he can only rely on Zhang Xuān's strength, relying on him, the prince and the princess, it will not help at all, and he will only send a dish to Li Heng for nothing and let others slaughter him.
Yang Lian, the general of Yulinwei in the capital, was Zhang Xuān's person, and if Zhang Xuān was willing to support the old emperor's reinstatement, the major event would become more than half. As long as Yu Linwei is controlled in his own hands, the old emperor believes that he only needs to appear in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and say a few words, and Li Heng's enthronement ceremony will be in vain.
Therefore, the old emperor started the idea of Wanchun. Xiaozhi is moved by emotion and reason, and then you are profitable, and Wanchun persuades him, and the old emperor thinks that Zhang Xuān will probably be tempted.
Zhang Xuān looked at Wan Chun and let out a long breath, and said in a low voice, "Wan Chun, I can understand your feelings, but Lou can't agree to this matter!" ”
Wan Chun sighed faintly and said, "Zenglang, don't blame the slave family. The slave family also has no choice, the other end is the father of the slave family, the father opens his mouth to beg the slave family, and the slave family can't do nothing. But the slave family also knows that this matter is not so simple, what to do, the slave family knows that you have your own opinions.
But the slave family hopes that you don't let the prince's brother hurt his father! A trace of fear flashed in Wan Kan's eyes, she was really worried that once Li Heng knew that the old emperor was still sane, would he kill his father and cause a bloody incident of cannibalism.
Zhang Xuān walked over and hugged Wan Chun in his arms, patted her on the shoulder, and said softly, "Wan Chun, Li Heng's ascension to the throne as emperor is already the trend of the times, and no one can stop it, including me." If it is forcibly perverse, it can only bleed to death. "Okay, you don't marry this matter, I'll handle it, trust me."
Wan Chun hugged Zhang Zeng tightly and nodded silently.
A moment later, Zhang Xuān walked out of the side hall with Wan Chun.
Sheng Wang Li Qi and the others stood in the courtyard, staring at Zhang Xuān tightly. Li Qi stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "King Yongning, you are originally a minister of your father, since your father has a decree, you should obey it." King Yongning helped his father restore the throne, and he had the merit of supporting it, and it was not a problem to increase the official and enter the knighthood! ”
Zhang Xuān suddenly smiled quietly, and said lightly, "His Royal Highness King Sheng, this king is already the prince of Yongning, and the marshal of the Longshuo domain is also in charge of the military power of the four towns, how can he be added to the rank of knight?" ”
Li Qi was speechless for a while, but his face turned red and said, "You are the son of your father's emperor, your father has a will, do you dare to obey?" ”
The corners of Zhang Xuān's mouth flickered, and he said lightly, "The new emperor is about to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and this matter is unstoppable."
This king advises your highnesses not to be whimsical, lest you get into trouble and repeat the mistakes of King Rong and King Xining. "Even though His Majesty has regained his senses, it is an ironclad reality that he is ill and paralyzed and cannot act as an agent of state affairs in Chuáng. Could it be that Your Majesty wants to lie on the sickbed and take care of state affairs? ”
Therefore, this king advises your highnesses to keep the status quo, the crown prince will ascend the throne as usual, and the emperor will continue to be his emperor, and everything will be fine. If you insist on going your own way, causing a bloody incident of palace change,
It is almost inevitable that there will be a royal scandal of flesh-and-blood killing. ”
Xianyi stepped forward and said, "King Yongning, my father is alive, and the crown prince should not ascend the throne and become the emperor, which is a great disrespect and a great unfilial piety." You are the son of your father's courtier, and if you don't support your father's reinstatement, it will be a great rebellion! Zhang Xuān smiled coldly, ignored Xianyi, but turned his head to look at Li Qi and said: "King Sheng, if this king is not mistaken, the emperor must have promised to make you the prince of the East Palace after the reinstatement, but in this case, where will the prince be?" During the period when the prince was in charge of the country, the country and the people were prosperous.
Even if the emperor is reinstated and wants to depose the crown prince, I am afraid that the subjects of the world will not agree! ”
Zhang Xuān's voice was full of mockery: "This king advises King Sheng not to be hot-headed for a moment and embark on a road of no return. ”
Li Qi looked at Zhang Xuān with shame on his face, raised his hand and said angrily, "Zhang Xuān, you are so indulgent!" If you don't obey the will, you are rebellious! Come on, take Zhang Xuān to the palace! After speaking, more than 100 palace forbidden guards rushed out of the wing room, and the leader was Gongsun You.
Wan Chun's face changed drastically, and he suddenly rushed in front of Zhang Xuān and scolded angrily, "King Sheng, what are you going to do?" Gongsun You surrounded the palace forbidden guards, Zhang Yi smiled faintly, pulled Wan Chun behind him, and quietly pushed away Nan Jiyun, who was guarding his side, stepped forward, looked around at the palace forbidden guards, and shouted, "Who dares to touch this king?" Whoever wants to be killed by the Nine Clans, come forward! Zhang Xuān looked at Gongsun You coldly and said in a deep voice, "Gongsun You, you are so bold!" Gongsun You embarrassedly clasped his fists and said, "Lord Wang, please forgive the general for being rude." The emperor has a decree, and the last general will not dare to disobey! ”
"If you can't do it, do you want to use force to coerce this king? King Sheng, you are still too naïve. You don't want to think about it, if this king is defenseless, how can he come to this Xianyang Palace alone. ”
Zhang Xuān sneered, raised his hand and pointed at Gongsun You and said, "Gongsun You, this king's guards and Yulin Wei are outside the palace, if this king is loud, everyone will die!" Zhang Xuān glanced back at Nan Jiyun.
Nan Jiyun raised his head and whistled sharply.
Suddenly, more than 100 fierce Longshuo guards rushed in, and immediately broke through the encirclement of the palace forbidden guards, protecting Zhang Xuān and Wan Chun in it.
Nan Xiaoyun was about to lead the guards to confront the palace forbidden guards under Gongsun You, but Gongsun You was flustered and led his soldiers to protect King Sheng and the others and gradually retreated. He didn't dare to really clash with Zhang Xuān's protectors, because once there was a conflict, let Li Heng get the news that the Yulin Wei army outside the palace would enter the palace, and none of these people present would survive!
